Storytelling 2023:
Documentary and Street Photography
The Atlanta Photography Group is excited to announce our next call for entry, Storytelling, which celebrates street and documentary photography of all styles with images that reflect a strong narrative. We are looking for images which are a combination of candid depictions of everyday life, shadows of the city streets, the abandonment of a country road, subtle moments of joy, humor, love, fear or anxiety. Think of work like that created by Diane Arbus, Bruce Davidson, Robert Frank, Josef Koudleka, Helen Levitt, Baldwin Lee, Roy DeCarava, Mary Ellen Mark, Daido Moriyama, Lee Friedlander, Lisette Model, Gordon Parks, and Harry Callahan.
Your story can be told with a single image or several images as a series.
We are excited to have Alyssa Coppelman, Art Researcher at the Oxford American as our esteemed juror.
